What is the reasonable response to unreasonable impatience?

Does it matter that it is something I have only done twice in my life in response to stupendously assholish behavior?

As I said, by forcing a driver to slow down (but still be speeding) for a few minutes, I don't think I am actually making their life worse, just that they will think I am making their life worse.

Will you tell me that you've never been driving on the long boring stretch of I-5 (or some other two lane freeway) and been passing traffic on the left only to have some guy come speeding up in the right lane to try and squeeze in between you and the car you are passing? You've never sped up just a little bit to make sure he won't make it?

And if we're both (me and the othe driver) are being jerks, then why are you so bothered by my side of it?
